About

LIRIK, whose full name is Saqib Ali Zahid, is an American streamer who plays a broad range of games on Twitch, including World of Warcraft, DayZ and Grand Theft Auto V. He is known for broadcasting without an on-screen webcam.[1][2][3]

World of Warcraft, DayZ and Subscriber Sunday

Zahid began streaming in 2011 with World of Warcraft, then made DayZ a regular part of his broadcasts in 2012. His Subscriber Sunday streams let subscribers vote on which games he plays.[1]

Dot Esports documented him playing 144 games during the third quarter of 2022, from July through September.[4]

Staying with Twitch

In December 2019, LIRIK signed a multi-year exclusive agreement with Twitch, and the announcement also included deals for DrLupo and TimTheTatman.[1] The announcement came during a period when other established streamers were signing exclusive deals with rival services, including Mixer and YouTube.[5]
